Ethics and the practice of history / edited by Cathie Clement
DESCRIPTION
AuthorClement, CathieCorporate AuthorUniversity of Western AustraliaDescriptionThis volume differs from earlier volumes of 'Studies in Western Australian History' in that it looks beyond the State's history and focuses on aspects of historiography. It explores areas in which historians deal with the present as well as the past - areas in which their treatment of data, subjects, and colleagues may give rise to issues and moral questions additional to those that confront all hisotrians.
